QUESTION

What doe Islam say about the Paris atrocities committed in the name of Islam ?

ANSWER

الجواب حامداً و مصلياً

Answer

Regarding the recently reported atrocities committed in Paris, it should be clear that these type of criminal and inhumane actions have nothing to do with the pure teachings of Islam or the Muslims and they have been unreservedly denounced by many international Islamic scholars from around the Muslim world including those at Al-Azhar University.

This senseless act of violence is unequivocally and strictly prohibited in Islam, as the Qur’an states that whosoever kills an innocent human being, it is as though he has killed all mankind (Chapter 5 verse 32).

And Allah Knows Best
